>>8629104i wish it was a drama anon, but it is very real and it has engraved into most asian culture. being "bread winner" of the family means you're gonna have to carry the whole family or even the whole damn clan. plus the pressure from them as they guilt trip you into thinking that "are you working for the sake of your family". when you're born from poverty the only thing in your mind is get a degree, get rich,
and help family. i've seen people get consumed by this idea, to the point that treating themselves to something good feels weird and a "waste of money". as the source of income of the family, the rest of your relatives either slack off, or straight up be a burden on you.
